Don't really read any magazines anymore.
 
now also have a subscription of

www.theweek.com

we also get www.vice.com whenever we remember to pick it up.

i spend a lot of time on these sites lately:

www.clatl.com (Atlanta's alternative weekly paper)
www.granta.com (writing magazine)
www.wonderopolis.com (learning website for children)
www.fanfiction.net (obviously, fan fiction website)

well, shit. i hardly spend any time on the internet anymore, and now spend most of my time reading our shit-fuck metric ton worth of magazines.

we pay money for

Juxtapoz

The Economist
Teen Vogue
and get Vice & The Week & Uptown for free. we traded our friend in Scotland our Economist login for her New Yorker login, so we get The New Yorker on our iPad.

by the time i read through them all, it's the end of the week/month and there are more magazines to read. we're debating on getting Garden & Gun and Harpers. At that I think we'll be at full magazine capacity.

nah, I pick up a 2600 whenever there's an article of interest, but I only subscribe to National Geographic. I have nearly all the original issues from 1965 to the mid 90s in mint condition (I let a lot of cool stuff rot to save these from a flood once) and plan to one day acquire all the issues I'm missing. Sometimes I'll just grab a few issues and completely trip out on the incredible photos of people and places and times of day just caught in a moment and framed in the mystery that lies in the separation between humanity and nature.

National Geographic has since inception been everywhere on Earth where adventurers blazed a trail into the wild unknown. Even still, it's amazing to see the amount of content in each new episode after sooooo many years of Nat Geo photographers going out to risk their lives to immortalize the wonders of our world in a magazine that the common man can admire. I strongly urge everyone to subscribe, even if just for a while to see what it's about. I say this because the mag has been sending out appeals lately and is obviously struggling in the modern market which is so hooked on electronic sources. Don't let this amazing form of journalism die, we will all be poorer for it :(

I love National Geographic. My dad has been a subscriber for years and would have every issue about as far back as you, in a special book shelf. I used to love going to it as a kid and picking one out and pouring over it. Do you have the copies with the awesome holographic covers? I know there were a couple. I feel like I should subscribe, but as a poor uni student who can borrow my dad's copies, I can't see it happening in the near future :(
 
Websites:
BL and Erowid, obviously
Mother Jones, The Guardian, Le Monde and Le Devoir for news
Tumblr and Twitter for sharing
American Historical Association
Medieval Academy of America

Magazines I'm subscribed to:
The New Yorker
The Walrus
Speculum

I love magazines, I wish I could afford to subscribe to more, the price of overseas shipping is killing me.

Yea I have the one that has a full holo cover (unfortunately scratches fairly easily) and also the one with the Eagle (March 1984). I know what you mean about being a poor student, I pretty much had to beg for them to cut me a break and give me a subscription at a bargain cost
